EASTERN PLAINS: LOS LLANOS

The Eastern Plains, locally known as "los llanos", occupies
the 30% of the country's surface with large wetlands, meadows full of life, sinuous
and abundant rivers, and riparian forest, a great habitat for the largest rodent, the capibara, and the biggest snake of the world, the incredible Green
Anaconda, surprising groups of caimans, burrowing owls making their nests underground and
an enormous variety of birds, amphibians, birds and arthropods. It
is also a refuge for the biggest cat of america, the Jaguar, and its relative, the Puma.

HATO LA AURORA RESERVE is a large agricultural property in the middle of the llanos and
excellent refuge for the abundant wildlife of this region. Offers the
possibility to observe in these areas hundreds of animals including caimans,
turtles, capibaras, many species of birds including Whistling Herons, Scarlet Ibises, Roseatte Sponnbills, and also the chance to see the Jaguar and other wild cats
including the Puma and Yaguaroundi.

Wonderful
sunsets accompanied by the flight of thousands of birds and even the
opportunity to witness a super demonstration of local harp llanera.
